GOD IS OUR DEFENDER

Their Defender is strong; He will take up their case against you. [Proverbs 23:11]

In God we find shelter and safe haven against the assaults of a dying and lost world. He has promised to protect us and be our shield and defender always. He is our refuge and source of security. When the going gets tough you can count on Him. He will take up your cause and defend your position. That is why you need never fear. He is at your side and will never let you down. He is stronger than anything or anyone. He champions those who are at the mercy of the oppressor of the righteous. Our God cares for us and defends us against all harm.

For the LORD your God is God of gods and LORD of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no brides. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. [Deuteronomy 10:17-18]

You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more. [Psalm 10:17-18]

Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear; rather look to them with full hope that, as they arise, God, whose you are, will deliver you out of them. He is your keeper. [Francis de Sales]
